Abstract (en)

A computer-based system and method for enabling remote access to and control of a data acquisition system via a computer network having a multi-tiered network computing platform. The system includes a data acquisition system with a plurality of data acquisition devices; a database server; an application server; a data acquisition server; and two or more client terminals. The multi-tiered network computing platform is provided for the servers and includes a client tier, an application tier and a database tier. One or more client cartridges, application cartridges and data cartridges are provided on the servers and client terminals and are adapted to interface with each of the respective tiers of the network computing platform. The cartridges can communicate with one another over a common communications bus such that the client terminals can remotely access, control and manipulate data from the data acquisition system from any client location connected to the computer network. <IMAGE>
